Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Vol. 22: The Wheel of Fate by Koyoharu GotougeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
[I wrote this part after I had read the book on April 10, 2023, before I came back to Goodreads]
The penultimate volume of one of the greatest manga of all time. This is the first-half of the last battle against Muzan and it looks as bleak as ever for the surviving heroes, after Tamayo's death and Tanjiro is temporarily knocked-out by Muzan. Of course , Tanjiro recovers and they have to keep Muzan occupied for an hour until the sun comes out and kills him—the longest hour ever.
The dynamic art-style in this volume sees Koyoharu Gotouge operating at the height of his powers. Weirdly, we are still getting backstory this late in the game (this time for the Serpent Hashira Obanai Iguro and some more on the first demon slayer Yorichii).
[current note, January 2024]
I'm writing this having finished the series and I can say this volume and the preceding two volumes are the book at it's peak.
